I actually thought that it would be better if we introduced our baby's first solid foods when he turned 6 months. But the way see his, we think that he's ready for it.

So days before our baby turned 5 months, we already started to introduced him to solid foods... not actually a solid yet but we had mashed apple for a start, well atleast for a week, and then next would be another kind of mashed fruit for morning and mashed vegetable for the evening. I guess, it would be depend if we think he's ready for another new food. FOr now, he's loving his apple meal. We tried giving his kewpie's fruit and yogurt, and okayu (rice cereal) but seems he wasn't ready yet.

As much as possible, we don't want him to give baby instant foods that are sold in the stores since we agreed to have time when it comes to our baby casper's food. I guess those are only good for busy parents =)Instant food products may be also rich in nutrients although we prefer natural and fresh home made foods (atelast for now hehe).

my hubby does the preparations and feedings every day. SO sweet.... that's what i love with my husband, he always participates when it comes to our Baby , he never fails...

I've done research on feeding our babies in the first year. Let me share what I've got, and these are important

Water and juice

Babies who are exclusively breastfed don’t need extra water. When your baby begins to eat other foods, you can start to offer water occasionally.

Babies and children don’t need to drink juice. Too much juice, especially apple juice, can cause diarrhea. It can fill up small stomachs and decrease your baby’s appetite for nutritious foods. Too much juice can also cause early childhood tooth decay.

When you do offer juice, be sure it is only 100% fruit juice. Always offer it in a cup, as part of a meal or snack. Offer water to babies and young children between meals and snacks if they are thirsty. Limit juice to 120 to 180 mL (4 to 6 oz.) per day.

For my Mother

mom, without you, there would be no me. Your love, your attention, your guidance, have made me who I am. You showed me the way to serve, to accomplish, to persevere. Without you, there would be an empty space I could never fill, no matter how I tried. Instead, because of you, I have joy, contentment, satisfaction and peace. Thank you, mom. I have always loved you and I always will. The example you set is still with me I'd never want any other. I'm thankful for all that you taught me, And I'm blessed to call you "Mother."

My baby who has just turned 5 months:) smiles, giggles, and making noises all the time. I really love it especially every morning , a really good thing to start a positive day. Sometimes he wakes us up by his "ahhhhhhhhh----". Just lately he learned to shout like a boy who just saw Eva Mendes, you know what I mean . Having a happy baby is the best pleasures a mom (& dad) could ever have. I wish he stays that way til he gets old.Just a short video clip of lil cutie baby Casper having a good time with his two sister and pretty mumma LOL!. Enjoy!
